I haven't been watching this group much, so this topic may have already
arisen.....but what is that little spaceship looking thing that appears
as part of the terrain in some missions.

Can't move on to it.
Can't destroy it.
Can't harvest it.
Can't move anyone into it and fly off.
Haven't tried nuking it or ionizing it.
Can't eat it.
Can't negotiate with it.
Can't play scrabble with it.
Can't dance the Lambada with it.
Can't take it for a nice candle-lit dinner with soft music, good wine, and
then maybe a movie afterwards, followed by a romantic stroll along the beach
until 2 in the morning and then end up back at your place for hours of
unbridled (what does that word actually mean?) passionate love making, which
really can't be very good for the bed since it's nearly 47 years old and was
left to you by your grandmother, who used to bake really delicious chocolate
cakes, but died of a stroke about 3 years ago, which was about the same time
you became a proffessional stuntman, contrary to your mother's objections, but
what does she know anyway, she's the one who had the affair with that lawyer
and caused your parents to get a divorse, although your father was also having
an affair with his secretary, but they managed to keep that a secret, but not
from you cause you where also getting it on with his secretary, who was very
easy considering that she came from a very religious family and went to a
catholic school, but.......uh......what was I posting originally?

Oh yeah, the spaceship thing.

If anyone knows what it is, what is does, and how to make it do it (and how
much it charges by the hour), please let me know.

Thanks
